Do All Hard Drives Produce Vibration?

[turkey3_scratch]

When I put my hand to my case, I can feel a slight constant vibration which is coming from the hard drive. I just want to know if this is all right? Will the vibrating damage any other components? And is this normal?

Yes... HDD's do vibrate because they have moving parts. I would say all components with moving parts would vibrate at least a little bit. It's normal I guess... and I wouldn't be worried as it shouldn't vibrate enough to cause damage, to itself or other comonents.

All hard drives except for SSDs vibrate. You can't spin a disk at thousands of revolutions per minute without being able to feel it. It can cause damage over time, but that is unusual. Any damages it causes would most likely be to itself. Anyway, it is normal and you shouldn't worry about it, but you should have a good backup solution.
